Matthew 24:25
25Behold, I have told you beforehand.
Matthew 24:25 in other versions
Context of Matthew 24:25
23Then if any one say to you, Behold, here is the Christ, or here, believe [it] not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall give great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. 26If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert, go not forth; behold, [he is] in the inner chambers, do not believe [it]. 27For as the lightning goes forth from the east and shines to the west, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.
